***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Just as Holly guessed during last week’s winner post, our latest giveaway is indeed from our friends at Z Gallerie. They’re back after their much loved freebie last May to put a little sparkle in your holiday season. While the big Zee-G has tons of glittery items for your house, your tree and even your dining table, we somehow managed to comb through all the eye candy and pick out a collection of our absolute favorite holiday items. So here’s what this week’s winner will be snagging:
The Z Gallerie holiday prize pack includes: two ribbed Antique Mercury Votive Cups, a silver Antique Mercury Hurricane and a set of four Puccini Hiball glasses. We love them because not only do they provide a touch of holiday glam to a dining or console table, you can even get away with breaking them out during the other 11 months of the year. And if they look familiar it’s because Z Gallerie kindly sent a set our way (and we whipped them out for this Thanksgiving decor post a few weeks back).
So how do you get your hands on this sparkly set of holiday cheer? Here’s the 4-1-1:
- PRIZE: Two ribbed Antique Mercury Votive Cups, a silver Antique Mercury Hurricane and a set of four Puccini Hiball glasses from Z Gallerie
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “Z ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us if you plan to entertain people at your home this holiday season OR if you prefer to be entertained at someone else’s house. And either way, do you have any tips for being a great host and/or courteous guest?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 2nd at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: United States only
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

I love playing host, but we are about to move into our first home, which is a construction zone…so we won’t be having anyone over for the holidays this year. That means we’ll have to play guest!
I think fun decorations and candles glowing make any home a nice place to spend the holidays!
julie says
Z me! Just hosted 11 for Turkey day…hoping for someone else’s house for Christmas!
Adriana says
Z ME! Maybe we will have guests over this year to celebrate the purchase of our first home :)
Danielle says
Z ME!
We may be hosting Christmas festivities in our new home this year, but we normally trade off hosting duties with family.
Bree says
Z ME!!!
Off to the parentals for Christmas but we may host a holiday get-together (or two) at our place.
Savanna says
Z ME!! I would LOVE these. Gorgeous!
julie says
Z ME! what a wonderful present!!! Had a big gathering for Turkey day, not sure about Christmas yet…the more the merrier!!!
marlene says
Z ME! I love to entertain but we always celebrate the holiday with family out of town. As a guest, I always bring something, usually an hors d’œuvre or dessert.
mel says
We will be entertaining at home as we do every year. Our girls will have their first annual Christmas Pajama Jam Sleepover with 10 of their friends. We will have lots of food and make candies and cookies. Plus we watch Christmas movies and list to Christmas music.
Kate says
Z ME!
Nope, not planning to entertain this holiday season OR travel too much…mainly because I am/will be enormously pregnant (due 1-17-10) and want to enjoy a quiet time with my hubby & son before our new one arrives.
2 Tips for Hosts: Make it as easy on yourself as possible; make it potluck! Yes, really, people love to bring something. Second – nibblies and drinks go a LONG way to keeping folks happy and entertained.
2 Tips for Guests: Always help with clean up…but do not stay too long!!!
Danielle says
Z Me!!
I love playing host! My favorite are quick dinners and drinks with friends!

Z ME!
This is the first Christmas for my hubby and I in our first home. Unfortunately we haven’t had time to get the (growing) list of projects completed and ready for guests. So it looks like we’ll be living it up at Grandma’s for Xmas this year! :)
alicia says
Z ME! I plan on spending Christmas morning for the first time in my first house. Mimosa’s may be included.
Sara Beresford says
Z ME!!!!
My husband and I moved into our new home on October 23rd, 2009. We are hoping to have an ongoing party from 12pm- 12am on New Years Eve! It is just a matter of juggling our very different social circles all in one day!
lindsey says
z me please. I’m hosting a cookie exchange party and with all the cookies i don’t have to worry about cooking a ton of stuff for everyone!
Mrs. Money says
Z ME! I want to be entertaining!
amanda says
Z ME!
This will be my first year hosting Christmas. It’ll just be me, my husband and 2 year old son but I’m really excited about starting our own Christmas day traditions.
Sarah D says

Jen says
I don’t know if mine went through…
Z ME! I want to entertain!

I love hosting family get-to-gethers, but lets face it, it’s no fun when you’re constantly rushing to fill drinks and serving dishes. So, my suggestion is make sure to have generous portions out, so you don’t have to worry!
Bethany says
Z Me!
Now that we are spending our first holiday season in our new home we will be doing some entertaining.
As for hosting, I think its important to prepare or purchase food that is delicious but doesn’t stress you out or require you to spend too much time away from your guests! It’s about being together.
cris says
Z ME!
Hosts need to chill out and not micromanage everything. Your guests want to be treated to a relaxing weekend and few choices – not a crazed dicator demanding that they get up at the crack of dawn to “welcome the day”.
Tracey says
Z ME!
I’ll be at home for the holidays, but when I do host, I like to make sure everyone is well-fed. I also like having guests take home a portion of the leftovers. And I like to bring flowers for the host because they always brighten up a table.
Rena says
Z Me.
Our daughters and their families will join us for Christmas. We are especially looking forward to the 3 grandchildren.
Michele Daggar says
Z ME!!!!!
My husband and I will host 16 family members Christmas Eve!! We’ll have manicotti (homemade by my Mom) and chicken and steak fondue. Even the kids get to fondue. They love it.
For dessert we’ll have lots of cookies and probably a red velvet cake (Mom again!) We’ll play Apples to Apples & Bananagrams (lots of fruit related games!).
We usually end the night by watching Elf! Gotta love Buddy.
Beth says

Marin says
Z ME! My hubby and I are hosting in our new home. We’ll be having my family over Christmas morning, my favorite! My tip for hosting is to look for food you can prepare ahead of time so you can spend as much time with friends and family.
Kimberly says
Z ME!
With my super busy December work schedule, I like to be entertained – just don’t have the time to plan anything big.
Carla says
Z ME…
I was just at a home of a friend last night and I wish, wish, wish she had set up seating for everyone. She served soup (an okay party food), but had no place for people to sit or any place for people to gather for conversation. If you are hosting, try to set up lots of places for people to gather, maybe in different areas of your home. That would have made me more relaxed and happier to be in your home.
niki says
Z ME!!!
We will be going to my parent’s home in Idaho for Christmas, which is always something we look forward to. My mom always makes us feel like we are staying in a fancy hotel and decks out our room/bathroom with all kinds of miniature goodies. It is always such a treat!
Jana Garza says
Z ME!
We are lucky this year, we’re spending the holiday with my family in NM! CAN’T WAIT!
Love your blog….and great holiday decor like this giveaway!
MelissaZ says
Z ME!!
My husband and I are on our own this Christmas for the very first time. All our family lives out of state and we’re not going to be able to make it back home this year. :(
So, to combat the sadness of that, we’re talking about throwing a little cocktail and dessert party in a couple of weeks for our friends. This is our first Christmas in our new house and I want to show off our decor!
Leigh says
Z ME!
We are going to other’s homes for Christmas this year but we always go all out with decor in our home no matter what!
Lindsey says
Z ME!
I will be at my in-laws’ house for Christmas this year. We’re going a week early to remodel my mother-in-law’s kitchen, so that’s how I’m a good guest!
Susan Kelley says
Z ME!
I like to be a guest– that way I can leave when I want instead of having lingering guests myself. I love to bring food or drink with me and help the hosts with serving or clean up.
Angela says
Z ME!
Bri Ethington says
Z Me! I am planning on doing a little of both!

I Love playing hostess. Although being the “Hostess with the Mostess” means alot of work. It’s fun having everyone I love come together. I love the mercury glass items you have picked out. My living room christmas tree decor is done in mercury glass. i can’t get enough of mg. Good luck to me!!!
Thanks,
Dee
Melissa says
Z ME! I just bought a home and haven’t had the chance to entertain anyone yet. I prefer to go to someone else’s house, so I’m not so stressed. I will help with the clean up though!

Tran says

I prefer hosting so I can be home with my 2 dogs. But I enjoy being a guest as well. I always try to be courteous by helping with food prep, table setting, and clean up. It all goes so much faster when a bunch of people pitch in.
kate says
Z ME!!!
We have lots of celebrations to attend, but our favorite Holiday happening..which is quickly becoming tradition..is the party we host. Fairly common these days, we’ve hosted an annual “Ugly Christmas Sweater” Party for a couple years now. Nothing like getting festive with an over the top sweater….
James says

We usually spend Christmas with my parents. Last year I fixed their car as a housewarming gift.
Kristy says

We like to go to others’ to be entertained for the holidays. My biggest tip for guests- know when to leave! I can’t stand it when people wear out their welcome and stay into the wee hours of the morning.
Shannon R. says
Z ME! my husband and I definitely love entertaining but we are going to pass it up this holiday season due to all the other holiday parties we are attending. Guess we’ll have to wait till next year!
Julianne Hendrickson says
Z ME!!! I love Z Gallerie! I would LOVE to host people here this Christmas/New Years as we have a brand new home and I would love to break it in!
Scott says
Z ME! As a guy, I like to entertain my friends and have them over to our home. I like being able to grill out, watch some football, play some ping pong, and just sit back and talk. I’m not sure it qualifies as full-on entertaining since we’re not talking place settings or anything here, but just some low-key fun entertainment!
